The 66th FIBArk Whitewater Festival presented by Eddyline Brewing is slated for June 12-15 when hundred of athletes and thousands of spectators come to historic downtown Salida and Riverside Park. While the festival holds its roots in river competitions such as slalom and the legendary 26-mile downriver race, other events like a parade, carnival, raft rodeo, kids activities, free live music and the wild Hooligan race make FIBArk a crowd favorite. Throw in a hill climb, freestyle kayaking, stand up paddling and a mountain bike race and it’s no wonder FIBArk becomes one of the most prestigious mountain festivals in the nation.
